From crime dramas to magic acts to "50 Shades of Grey," today’s topic is known around the world, although there are restrictions in place depending on the country about how a person is displayed with them. France, for example, prohibits the media from showing pictures of people with them until they’ve been convicted. Those being restrained with the device in Hong Kong are offered head coverings for anonymity. And in Japan, a person’s hands may be blurred in photographs if they’re wearing them.

Normally when I have to make a disclaimer for episodes, they involve content that may not be suitable for all ages. But this episode’s disclaimer is a bit different. So here it goes: The content you’re about to hear is intended for educational purposes. The Story Behind does not endorse any use of this information to evade law enforcement or commit illegal acts.

Are you intrigued yet?

I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Handcuffs.
